Sorry I am not the one who needs to be educated here. KA pilots signed up for what they got, and obviously they are not happy with it. Any sort of joint seniority list does not in any way permit a pilot to fly for both AOCs, CAD will only let pilots work for both airlines at the same time.
Going back to what Krone said in the first post "This scheme, that was first muted a few years ago on the full integration of joint FOP , could now be just around the corner for all concerned."
You and I both know each airline has to have its own pilots, there is no chance of a "full integration of joint FOP". There is no benefit in having KA pilots retrain at CX, it adds nothing but cost. The cost of training them into CX, and the cost of replacing them at KA. They may as well just recruit a cheaper pilot off the street and do one set of training to fill one slot.
You and I know the company is driven by the dollar, the idea has no chance of getting a guernsey. Kones opening post is sophistry.
